The country now deals with &#8220;eternity students&#8221; \u2014 people who stick around at college for six years or more without any plans of graduating, solely because they don&#8217;t have any financial incentive to leave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With education being free, the Danish word &#8216;evighedsstuderende&#8217; has risen,&#8221; Daniel Borup Jakobsen, a 24-year-old recent graduate and current vice president at the software company Plecto, told Business Insider. &#8220;It refers to a person who never finishes his studies but continuously keeps changing study program year after year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A 2015 amendment tries to motivate the eternity student<br \/>\nFor years, Denmark has had a program that allots students a monthly grant of around $1,000 to cover living expenses. According to Jakobsen, the freedom enables people to float in a kind of listless state, only half-considering their options for the future.<\/p>\n<p>The country has made some headway to counter eternity students. In 2015, the Danish government proposed and passed an amendment to the Study Progress Reform giving universities more power to hurry students toward graduation.<\/p>\n<p>In Denmark, it&#8217;s typical to take five or six years for college and spend some of that time traveling.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of students protested the measure at the time, criticizing it as a way to remove their freedoms. Those in favor of the amendment claimed it would add more tax dollars to the economy \u2014 some $266 million, according to government estimates \u2014 and make the university system more efficient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denmark pays students $1,000 monthly grant to go to universities, with ZERO tuition fee However, the Denmark&#8217;s free education policy has created &#8216;eternity students&#8217; who never graduate Denmark has a term for people who don&#8217;t graduate in the normal five-year track: eternity students.
